Real Madrid star Rodrygo continues to be linked with a move to Liverpool.

The 24-year-old has scored 68 goals and added 51 assists in 270 appearances for Los Blancos but has been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu since before the end of last season.

After playing no part in his side’s final five La Liga matches of the campaign, the Brazil international only managed to make three appearances during Real’s run to the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.

As well as the Reds, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with a move for Rodrygo.

But amid the ongoing speculation around his future in the Spanish capital, the 24-year-old has taken to social media to post a picture of himself working out on a treadmill.

Rodrygo has previously spoken about how close he was to joining the Reds in 2017.

“We didn’t close the deal because I didn’t want to. I wanted to stay at Santos even though the offer was very good.

“The pathway they promised me would also have been very good for my career.

“I was going to finish my studies in England to prepare for European football. It had always been my dream to play in Europe.

“Everything was very good, but my desire spoke louder. I wanted to stay at Santos and make a bit of history at the club.

“ And that’s what happened: I was able to fulfil my dream of playing for Santos. But it’s true, I almost went to Liverpool.”
